Directions:
Use pieces from your own clothes, old articles from adulthood, baby clothes, your middle school uniform, anything. Try to choose clothing that has meaning to you, or commemorates a special day. Be sure to include the story when you send us the picture of your block
This one is actually another piece honoring my mom.
This summer, when I was super-pregnant and uncomfortable and a few weeks away from giving birth, my mom and I decided yo clean out the garage...in Arizona...in 115 degree weather.
Our goal was to reach a stack of boxes she had kept for over twenty years, packed with clothes that she wore while pregnant, that I wore as a baby, and even into my school days.
(This included the matching sweaters that my cousin and I wore when we sang to Santa...oh, the horror).
In the pieces was a blue and white flowered dress that she had claimed was one of her favorite things to wear. Now old and worn out, I couldn't in good conscience wear it anywhere...
Buuuuut...
Combined with my favorite maternity shirt from Old Navy, it made one heck of a memory block.
